In this episode of Beyond Just Business, we unpack the messy, meaningful idea of belonging - in companies, communities, and the day-to-day life of a business owner. We explore why some groups energise you while others quietly drain you, how status and “cool” circles distort our choices, and why many founders and solopreneurs mistake networking for true connection.

We talk peer groups, values, identity, and the courage to leave rooms that no longer fit - then flip it: if you can’t find the right room, create it. From choosing schools and professions to joining clubs and business associations, we ask what actually serves your growth versus what just looks good on paper.

Expect practical questions to test whether a circle fits, guidance on building a community around shared values, and a reminder that belonging evolves as you do. If you’ve ever wondered “Where do I fit - and how do I build something worth fitting into?”, this one’s for you.
